Fishermen Spot First Ever Bright‑Orange Nurse Shark with Unique Dual Pigmentation Traits
Off the Costa Rica’s east coast, sport fishers stumbled upon a highly unusual 6.6‑foot nurse shark exhibiting bright orange coloration—an unprecedented case of xanthism in this species. Even more extraordinary, the shark also displayed signs of albinism, including a lack of black in its irises. This rare combination, known as albino‑xanthochromism, has almost never been seen, previously documented only in a few other marine species like an Irish Sea ray. The shark was safely photographed and released.Sep 8th, 20250

Modify Hard Baits for Big Fish
Most hard baits have two or three treble hooks. The problem with this setup is large fish and lengthy fights can cause those tiny hooks to open up or tear from a fish’s lip. We all know this loss hurts. The bigger the fish, the worse it hurts and the more likely it is to happen. I came up with a solution for this scenario several years ago while targeting giant tarpon. I adapted my hard baits to use a single large hook. It resulted in the successful landing of more big fish than with the original hardware.Aug 5th, 2025
